Annex B
(normative)
Remote controls for pedestrian-controlled rollers
B.1 General
ISO 15817:2012 applies with the following additions for wireless remote controls.
B.2 Safety requirements and measures
All travel movements shall be switched off automatically by the receiver if the distance between the
transmitter hold by the operator and the machine is less than 2 m.
All travel movements shall be switched off automatically by the control system if the machine is leaving
the work- and travel area (maximum distance between transmitter and machine less than 50 m).
If there is an insufficient state of charge concerning the battery of the transmitter, this state should be
indicated (e.g. acoustically or optically) before the function of the equipment is affected in any way (e.g.
alteration of the transmission of control commands).
Transmitters and receivers shall be assigned to each other.
ISO 15817:2012, 4.4.2.4 is considered to be fulfilled by a lockable storage place on the roller for the
remote control box.
ISO 15817:2012, 4.5.3 applies with the following modification: An emergency stop on the machine is not
required.
No movements shall be caused on connection of transmitter or receiver to a power source.
The alignment of the remote control shall not exceed horizontally ± 30°.
NOTE It is intended that this measure limits the possibility of a command being unintentionally issued due to
reflecting walls or obstacles.
B.3 Components and equipment
It shall be possible to operate the controls while wearing protective gloves.
If programming is used in the process of transmitting commands in conjunction with the remote controls,
it shall only be possible to alter the programme with a special tool.
The description of type shall clearly indicate the relationship between transmitter and receiver.
The following message shall be legibly and durably shown on the transmitter (either by text or by an
appropriate pictogram):
“Check the operational functionality of the remote control system prior to use.”

Annex C
(normative)
Measurement of the hand-arm vibration of hand-guided vibratory rollers
C.1 General
In this annex, specifications are laid down for machines as a supplement to EN ISO 20643:2008 for hand-
guided vibratory rollers. Those specifications serve to determine the characteristic vibration amplitudes
under practical conditions. The machines are characterized by their possessing a module for producing
vibration, so as to cause compacting of the under-surface.
This annex contains the same conditions for operation and arrangement for all hand-guided vibratory
machines as they apply to the determination of sound power level for those hand-guided vibratory rollers
as described in Annex C.
C.2 Terminology
The terms and definitions given in ISO 5805:1997 shall apply.
C.3 Quantities to be measured
C.3.1 R.m.s. value of the weighted acceleration
The quantities to be measured are the r.m.s. values of the weighted vibration accelerations a , , a ,
xhw i yhw i
and a , of the i = 1 to 3 measurements of a test run in accordance with EN ISO 20643:2008. Those are
zhw i
formed according to

a = a ; a = a ;=a a (C.1)
xhw yhw zhw

i=l i=l i=l
for each coordinate into the result of the test run. Since in the case of the machines under investigation,
the vibration accelerations in the x-, y- and z-coordinates often produce values of the same magnitude,
the acceleration sum of the test run is also formed according to
2 2 2
a = aa++ a (C.2)
xhw yhw zhw
vhw
C.3.2 Frequency analysis
If required, frequency analyses from the acceleration time signals can be determined for one
measurement direction (x-axis) or for all directions of measurement. The analyses shall not be weighted
with the hand-arm filter.
C.3.3 Time records
If required, the variations of the signals with time can be recorded for one measurement direction (x-axis)
or for all three measurement directions.
C.3.4 Other quantities to be measured
a) Speed of engine (see Table C.1);
b) Measurement duration t (see C.6.5, 7th paragraph and Figure C.3).

C.4 Measuring equipment
C.4.1 Requirements for the acceleration transducers
Shall be according to EN ISO 20643:2008, 7.2.1.
In another variant, the total mass of the three acceleration transducers (or of the triaxial transducer)
should be less than 60 g. The mass of the coupling device for the acceleration transducers should be kept
as low as possible (maximum 60 g).
C.4.2 Fastening of the acceleration transducers
Measurement is carried out in three directions of measurement with three single or one triaxial
acceleration transducer(s). The three acceleration transducers are fastened to a coupling device on the
drawbar (according to Figures C.1 a) and C.1 b)). The coupling device shall be adapted to the diameter of
the respective drawbar. The three acceleration transducers (or one triaxial transducer) are attached
(screwed or glued) to the coupling device.
The axes of the acceleration transducers shall be directed in accordance with C.5.1.
If the drawbar has a resilient cover in the region to which the coupling device is to be attached (see
Figure C.2), then care shall be taken during the measurements. The resilient cover can form a “spring-
mass system” together with the coupling device and the acceleration transducer(s), resulting in natural
vibration. In addition, the results of measurement are difficult to reproduce. It is therefore advisable to
remove the resilient cover for the measurements.
In the test report, it shall be recorded whether a vibration-damping cover was present and whether this
was removed for the measurements.
C.4.3 Frequency weighting filter
Frequency weighting filter shall be according to EN ISO 20643:2008, 7.3.
C.4.4 R.m.s. detector
R.m.s.detector shall be according to EN ISO 20643:2008, 6.3.
C.4.5 Calibration
Calibration shall be according to EN ISO 20643:2008, 7.6.
C.5 Measurement direction and measurement location
C.5.1 Measurement direction
The directions of measurement are given in Figure C.1. The coupling device shall be directed, depending
on the size of the operator, in such a manner that the z-axis runs parallel to the ground during the
measurements.
